Why are backpackers so angry when hip hop artists sell well?!

Hey Nik, I mentioned you a week or so ago in a post. Not sure if you caught it. Let me paste it for you.

Yeah. There's no insult that could top how pathetic the posting of this thread and the events leading up to it are. At the same time, I think it's good to see this guy humble himself enough to admit what a low moment it was for him. This is the ultimate nerd/fanboy textcee thread. Where Hip Hopper meets online MMO player at some strange crossroad of taking what amounts to nothing so seriously. The fantasy and competitiveness that go along with battling, especially text battling is part of what made it good, when it was good. When it started the people doing it didn't have a grasp on how silly it had gotten. How invested they'd become in it. Now it's like D&D for rappers, and everyone is aware of that. This is too prideful a group to admit it, though. Then you have moments like this. Where the pride is finally stripped away, and old pathetic nerds who have elevated heart rates over text battles see themselves for what they are. Kudos to you, Nik.
